Chapter 568 The one who lied!
After calming the man down, Ran Qingxuan moved the stool forward.
"Jin Tang, what my husband asked is very important to us, so I hope you can understand and think clearly before answering, okay?"
Ran Qingxuan knew that the patient who had just woken up was not clear-headed enough, so she had to proceed step by step, but she also knew that if she was late by even a second, things would change dramatically.
She understood Gu Yanchen's anxiety and torment, and also understood Jin Tang's physical and mental exhaustion...
Turning around and going to the table, Ran Qingxuan poured a glass of water and handed it to Jintang who had sat up slightly.
After the others drank and calmed down a little, Jin Tang spoke slowly.
"The place where I fell was a hundred feet west of the freshwater lake. There was a large earth slope there, and the cave was at the foot of the slope."
“After I fell in, I thought about what the fisherman said about picking up gold. I thought I was lucky to have accidentally fallen into a nest of gold, so I lit a fire and walked forward along the hole.
After walking a few hundred feet away, I heard the sound of water and someone murmuring. ”
Gu Yanchen widened his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Is the person who spoke a man or a woman?"
Jin Tang said without hesitation: "It's a man."
At that moment, Gu Yanchen clenched his fists and took a deep breath, as if he was about to explode in the next second.
Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan patted the back of his hand and gestured to Jintang.
"Just keep talking."
“After I came out of the cave, there was a freshwater lake in front of me that was half the size of the island. There was light on the other side of the lake, and I saw a dark shadow moving in the light.
I asked him who he was and he kept saying save him..."
As he spoke, Jin Tang revealed a strange expression.
"I thought there was a ghost... But when the people on the other side of the lake saw me leaving, they shouted that his name was Gu Feng and told me to go to Beiguan to find Zhenbei Hou to save him..."
"But... I remember the general guarding Linxi Pass was called Gu Feng, but he has been dead for more than ten years, how come..."
When Gu Yanchen heard Jin Tang mention Gu Feng, he could no longer control his emotions and stood up suddenly, which frightened Jin Tang who was lying on the bed.
Gu Yanchen turned around, unable to hold back his tears any longer. You know, his father was a man of steel, and he would not call for help even if he was badly wounded on the battlefield.
If he was not forced to live, how could he easily ask a person who accidentally strayed in to find someone to save him...
Ran Qingxuan was also in a bad mood and asked anxiously: "What happened next?"
"I know General Gu Feng. He is a great hero who protects Northern Qi together with the Marquis of Zhenbei..."
Jin Tang said this with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, his tone filled with embarrassment.
"I thought that if I saved such a person, I would be rewarded by the emperor, so I was ready to wade across the river to save him."
Ran Qingxuan instinctively thought that his behavior was very risky, but when he thought about the fact that Uncle Jin's family lived by the sea, if Jin Tang was not a good swimmer, he might not follow his relatives out to sea to fish.
It was at this moment that Jin Tang's expression changed.
"Swimming across the freshwater lake was like a piece of cake for me, but as soon as I got in, the man who called himself Gu Feng started yelling at me."
"I had swum more than ten feet away at that time, so I didn't hear clearly what he said. It was only when I stopped that I heard him saying that there were man-eating fish in the lake."
At this point, Jin Tang's face turned pale instantly, and his hands, which were tightly holding the quilt, were even shaking.
"I... When I heard him say there were man-eating fish in the water, I quickly swam back, but my feet hit the sand and rocks below, and I felt a pain in my waist, and then..."
The more he spoke, the more Jin Tang trembled.
Ran Qingxuan really wanted to ask him to wait and talk later, but when he saw Gu Yanchen trying hard to suppress his grief, he had no choice but to ask him what happened next. ,
Jin Tang trembled and spoke intermittently, "After I felt the pain in my waist, the water surface seemed to explode, and palm-sized fish kept attacking me and biting my flesh.
The feeling was so painful, as if thousands of knife tips were stabbing my flesh. I had no choice but to swim towards the shore while slapping the fish that were about to eat me up.
I was in so much pain that I couldn't open my mouth. When I saw my uncle coming down to rescue me, I couldn't even say a word of warning. ”
"After I was rescued to the shore, I saw the man being dragged away, and there were many men with big knives saying some foreign words to us..."
"No, wait, you said the people who appeared on the other side of the lake were speaking Yigui language?"
Ran Qingxuan's eyelids twitched, interrupting his statement, and Gu Yanchen turned around and looked at him in disbelief.
"Could it be that you heard it wrong?"
Jin Tang shook his head and answered firmly, "I definitely heard it right. We are crossing a stretch of land to the grasslands of the Yigui tribe, and there are also decent merchants who will sell their goods to the foreigners passing by.
I have encountered this many times so I could tell whether it was the Yigui language. In short, those people waved their knives at us. After my uncle rescued me, a large group of Yigui people with machetes came to kill us. ”
"If my uncle hadn't fought hard and if some people with great martial arts skills hadn't come, I'm afraid the two of us would have definitely become the souls killed by those Yigui people."
Ran Qingxuan let out a long sigh and looked at Gu Yanchen who was already impatient.
"Go out and talk to the third brother first, and we'll leave after I come out."
"good."
She saw Gu Yanchen's anxiety. After everyone left, Ran Qingxuan looked at Jin Tang.
"Do you remember what you said when you were unconscious?"
Ran Qingxuan wanted to know the answer urgently, but the next second, Jin Tang frowned and looked puzzled.
"I just lost a lot of blood in the cave. I was going to be killed when I came up. How dare I faint?"
"Are you sure you didn't faint when you were rescued?"
Ran Qingxuan stared at Jin Tang's eyes, trying to find any sign of lying.
"I am sure that the man who saved me was stabbed and bled so much, but he carried me to the fishing boat before leaving."
"It was only after the fishing boat had safely left that I passed out from the pain."
Ran Qingxuan stood there in a daze. She remembered that she did not ask Yu Chang whether Jintang had fainted, and Yu Chang only said that Jintang was carried onto the boat by someone. He never mentioned anything about him fainting!
She was still feeling lucky that Sang Yu didn't deliberately tell Gu Yanchen about Gu Feng's survival, but...
Things have come to this point, she really doesn't know whether she should tell these words to Gu Yanchen later.
"Qingxuan, are you okay?"
Hearing Gu Yanxing's urging voice outside, Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but tremble, but quickly adjusted his mood.
He turned to look at Jin Tang who had a puzzled look on his face.
"If you don't want to bring disaster to your family, it's better to live somewhere else."
Jin Tang's heart trembled, and he didn't quite understand what Ran Qingxuan meant.
"But where can our family go?"
"Go to Yongfeng Village and move out at dawn!"
